Summary:

"I threw up on my own husband years ago? I could've already met you back then?"

Zayn's POV:

"Zayn, who are you texting?!" Waliyha complained, rolling her eyes at her brother. "We're here because of you!" Doniya nodded furiously. "It's Pride! Be gay and proud of it."

"I just texted my friend asking where he was! Stop nagging. He didn't even answer! And what the hell? Be gay and proud of it? I never heard you say something like thart before?" Zayn answered, reaching for Safaa's hand. "Safaa why did Dad even allow you to come with us?!"

"I'm 15 not five!" Safaa whined. "I'm not a baby!"

"Yes, you are, sweetie. You're my baby sister and I really don't want you to get lost or something. Take my hand or I'll call Dad to pick you up." Zayn urged even though he knew he shouldn't treat her like a baby anymore. He just couldn't help it.

"Sometimes I hate you!" Safaa shrieked, squeezing his hand way too much. "That much!"

"I didn't feel anything." Zayn mocked her, making Doniya bubble over with laughter. "All jokes aside now, okay? What do you want to do?"

"I want you to stop eating Skittles." Waliyha interrupted them. "Zayn, it's your third bag!"

Zayn pursed his lips. "You can't tell me what to do. I love them!"

"But I can!" Doniya helped her little sister out. "I'm older than you are. Throw them away!"

"I'll buy another one. Watch me!" Zayn replied, sticking his tongue out at her. "I'm old enough."

"You're gonna throw up!" Waliyha mumbled. "Zayn, please. That's literally an addiction by now."

"Yeah, she's right. You're only eating Skittles anymore!" Doniya added, reaching for the bag.

"Don't you dare touch it. I might die alone but I'll at least die eating my beloved Skittles!" Zayn retorted, not letting go of them. "They're as gay as I am."

"Skittles can't be gay, the hell are you talking about!?" Doniya wanted to know, tapping her forehead at him. "You're losing your mind. Stop eating all of that sugar!"

"Who are you? My mom?!" Zayn ranted, looking out for his friend at the same time. Where was he for Batman's sake?!

"Fine! Eat them until you pop like a balloon! I'll be the one saying I told you so when you suddenly feel sick to your stomach!" Waliyha said and Doniya nodded in agreement. "It's an addiction, seriously."

"Can all of you shut up?" Safaa interrupted them. "It's over 300,000 people pouring out into the city's streets to participate in this and you guys are talking about Skittles!?"

Zayn nodded, watching on as an all-singing, all-dancing carnival of color wended its way from the seafront to the festival site. Everything and everyone was flamboyant, vibrant and colorful and Zayn loved it. People seemed to very relaxed and happy.

The Pride parade was a glorious riot of color, music and dancing, a thrilling carnival of diversity. Old and young people, families, community groups, dancing paramedics, smiling police officers, samba dancers, business supporters, magical community floats, a giant rainbow flag and drum banging delights...

"You're so right." Zayn admitted, letting go off his sister's hand. "I trust you."

"Oh my god, seriously?" Safaa squeaked, definitely not having expected this. "I'm not gonna disappear, I promise!"

"You better not." Zayn said, eating a hand full of Skittles. He would never admit that his sisters were right but the Skittles really made him feel bad already. "I'm hungry."
